Abstract

An optical pickup has a light source for generating a laser light, an objective lens for condensing the laser light to form a light spot so as to irradiate an optical disk formed of a substrate and having a pair of major surfaces spaced from each other by a thickness of the substrate and a recording face interposed between the major surfaces, and an actuator for moving the objective lens in a direction of the thickness of the optical disk within a total movable range so as to focus the light spot on either one of the recording face and the major surface. The total movable range of the objective lens is set to be equal to or more than a sum of an allowance range and an additional range. The allowance range is set to allow the objective lens to keep a constant distance between the objective lens and the recording face even when a level of the optical disk varies in the direction of the thickness. The additional range is set by dividing a gap between the major surface and the recording face of the optical disk by an absolute refraction index of the substrate of the optical disk.

Next, will the detailed configuration and the operation of optical pickup 10 be described.Fig. 2 (A), 2 (B) and 2 (C) are the diagrammatic sketch of the position relation between expression object lens and the CD.The optical pickup 10 of optical disk recording device 1 of the present invention can be selected one and finish focus servo from the zone that two differences extend.More particularly, shown in Fig. 2 (B), when laser focusing is on the record surface of CD D, the object lens 31 of aggregation laser is moved around the position 41 of object lens 31 (below be called first basic point) thereby along the thickness direction of CD realize focus servo.In addition, shown in Fig. 2 (C), when the front surface of laser focusing at CD D, the object lens 31 of aggregation laser move around the position 42 of object lens 31 (below be called second basic point) thereby along the thickness direction of CD and realize focus servo.In addition, consider the level fluctuation of when rotation CD D and crooked, will from the focal zone 51 of first basic point (below be called the first area) be set to have approximately identical distance (scope) from the focal zone 52 of second basic point (below be called second area).For example, in the example shown in Fig. 2 (A)-2 (C), first area 51 and second area 52 are set to ± 0.8mm.
In addition, by the predetermined input from the importation 5 of main frame 3, optical pickup 10 can rely on focus servo mechanism that the position of object lens 31 is moved to first basic point 41 and second basic point 42.
Therefore, total moving range of the object lens 31 of optical pickup 10 is set to be equal to or greater than the distance (scope) of the CD side of first area 51, the summation of the distance that obtains divided by the absolute index of refraction (=1.584) of polycarbonate in distance second area 52 and the CD opposite side (scope) with by the record surface and the distance between the polycarbonate substrate surface of CD.In addition, the distance that is obtained divided by the absolute index of refraction (=1.584) of polycarbonate by the record surface and the distance between the polycarbonate substrate surface of CD is with the airborne optical path length from the conversion of the optical path length in the compact disc substrate, and laser is transferred to record surface by this optical path length from the front surface of CD.In example shown in Figure 2, the distance (scope) of the distance (scope) on the CD side in the first area 51, the side that the CD in the second area 52 is relative all is 0.8mm.In addition, the length that is obtained divided by the absolute index of refraction (=1.584) of polycarbonate by the record surface and the length between the polycarbonate substrate surface of CD approximately is 0.76mm.Therefore, total moving range of object lens 31 approximately is 2.4mm (≈ 2.36mm).
In addition, the distance (scope) of the CD side in the first area 51 is set even make when be driven in rotation, the surface level variation of CD, object lens 31 do not contact with the front surface of CD yet.
In addition, shown in Fig. 2 (A), when first basic point 41 was the initial position (being also referred to as center or neutral position) of the object lens 31 of optical pickup 10,2 times of being set to greater than the moving range of CD D side of the moving range of the deviser of optical disk recording device 1 and the object lens 31 of CD D opposite side were preferable.Therefore, optical pickup 10 of the present invention is newly-designed, but by revise only specify the first area as moving range so that make the design of the ordinary optical pick-up head that the mobile range of the direction of relative CD prolongs can easily obtain optical pickup of the present invention.
51 execution focusing form pit by the record surface that laser is applied to the internal layer of the CD identical with normal optical disk thereby optical pickup 10 of the present invention is in the first area, thereby finish the record of desired data.In addition, optical pickup 10 of the present invention is carried out at second area 52 and is focused on, then laser is used the mark layer of the front surface of CD, this is that traditional optical pickup can not obtain, thereby can form the image of expression information needed on the index face of the CD of application specific coating.Can form this images such as character, symbol, picture or photo relevant as required information with recorded data among the CD D.Certainly, also can form with CD D in the image of the irrelevant information that write down.
Here, be applied to the reflected light of reflected light than the laser that is applied to record surface of laser of index face by optical pickup 10 a little less than.This be because, for example, under the situation of CD-R, record surface have the reflection horizon (for example gold, silver or aluminium) that forms by metal than lower floor's (organic dye layer), but index face does not have this reflection horizon.Therefore, when optical disk recording device 1 carry out to focus on the index face that laser is applied to CD at second area, increasing the light-receiving gain is necessary so that do not produce focusing error.In other words, AGC (automatic gain control) about optical disk recording device, make the setting range of AGC be provided with broad, make when carrying out in the first area when focusing on and can adjusting this gain when focusing on and can change this configuration that gains so that provide according to the zone of carrying out focusing when carrying out at second area.
In order on the index face of CD D, to form image, adopt to be applied to special coating as mentioned above that the CD of index face is necessary by optical disk recording device 1 of the present invention.For example, these materials that are used as this special coating can be to have photosensitive photosensitizer and form color when irradiating laser, contract formation that coating flows out during also when irradiating laser of heat sensitive heat sensitizing agent and formation color or its capsule melt together along with LASER HEAT when the irradiating laser minute-pressure is included in the color of the coating in the capsule.The user of optical disk recording device 1 of the present invention can adopt this CD to come to form the image of the required information of expression on the index face of CD.
Next, the operation that image will be formed on the optical disk recording device of the present invention 1 on the index face of CD is described.Fig. 3 be the expression rectangular coordinate system source images diagrammatic sketch and be used for the source images of the polar coordinate system that image forms.When rotary CD, optical disk recording device 1 is used for the laser of record data in the record surface of CD from optical pickup 10 irradiations, thereby forms image on the index face of CD D.Therefore, shown in Fig. 3 (A), will form the laser radiation pattern of image on CD D as being used for, optical disk recording device 1 adopts an image according to the image in the polar coordinate system.
Here, shown in Fig. 3 (B), be image generally in rectangular coordinate system by the image of processing such as computing machine, rather than at the image of polar coordinate system.Therefore, optical disk recording device 1 is the image of polar coordinate system with the image transitions of rectangular coordinate system, and when rotary CD, on the basis of the image (image formation data) of polar coordinate system, use laser, thereby produce the data that the laser radiation pattern data that is used to form image connects continuously (below be called serial data).According to these serial datas, from appointed positions image is formed on the index face of CD D so that opening entry (R 0, θ 0).
For example, be that optical disk recording device 1 produces images in main control part 7 and forms data on the basis of view data of bmp (bitmap) form of example in view data with rectangular coordinate system.Fig. 4 is image is converted to the image of polar coordinate system by rectangular coordinate system an image diagrammatic sketch.At first, for can be when forming image, adjust the intensity of the irradiation power of laser, and dithering process is applied to image with bitmap format according to gray shade scale with predetermined gray scale representation.Dithering process is a kind of method of representing color depth by the distribution and the density of change point.Next, will place on the polar coordinates with the image through dithering process of bitmap format, determine wherein more selectable so that the view data of bitmap format is converted to the view data of polar coordinate system.In other words, as shown in Figure 4 with the right angle, bottom of the image of rectangular coordinate system (x, y)=(X 0, Y 0) as reference point, according to equation conversion image data as follows:
r = ( X 2 + Y 2 ) , θ=tan -1(Y/X)
In addition, the view data under the polar coordinate system is converted to serial data, so that adopt optical disk recording device 1 to form image by laser is applied to CD.On the basis of the serial data that produces, optical disk recording device 1 is applied to appointed positions with laser and comes opening entry, thereby forms image on the index face of CD.
In addition, in CD drive 2, optical pickup 10 is bigger than the spacing (1.6 μ m) of the preset-groove that forms on the index face of CD along the amount of feeding (for example 8 μ m) of disc radial direction for the CD index face, form image if shine with this amount of feeding, the PEL (picture element) density that is formed on the index face reduces.Therefore, in optical disk recording device 1, optical pickup is at predetermined period or at radially the swing amplitude to be scheduled to of each period of change along CD, so that laser is applied to the identical circumference of repeatedly counting.Like this, owing to laser can be applied to the diverse location of same circumference, the image density that is formed on the index face improves.
Next, the operation of optical disk recording device of the present invention will be described according to process flow diagram.Fig. 5 is the process flow diagram that is used to describe the operation of optical disk recording device.When forming image on the index face at CD, the user at first is provided with the image that will form by optical disk recording device 1 on index face, and the image generating routine that is installed on the main frame 3 by employing forms required image.In following steps, produce image and form data.The demonstration example of Fig. 6 presentation video generating routine.At first, the user selects the icon 61 of image generating routine shown on the display part 4 of the optical disk recording device 1 shown in Fig. 6 (A), thus the carries out image generating routine begin the operation.Detect this operation, the main control part 7 of optical disk recording device 1 reads and starts the image generating routine (s1) that is stored in the main memory portion 6.Shown in Fig. 6 (B), main control part 7 makes display part 4 display reminding users that character, picture pictures 62 (s2) such as (view data in the rectangular coordinate system) selectable, that will form as image on CD are set.Shown in Fig. 6 (C), according to picture, images 63 such as selectable character that user's setting for example will be write down as image on CD or picture.At this moment, the user can be from the importation 5 input optical characters, perhaps start other image and produce software and produce selective image and use this image.Further, can read character data or view data in the storage area 6 that is stored in main frame 3.Further again, can obtain character data or view data from the network address on the Internet.
